The people who live on Lafitte Drive are very thankful no one on the ground was hurt. They spent the day looking over the debris scattered around their quiet neighborhood.

"We just heard a very loud sound," Waveland resident Patricia Moore. "It sounded like sheet metal tearing the sound that sheet metal makes when it collapses you always know it's trouble for someone when you hear that kind of sound."

"I thought it may have been a train, derailing or something like that," the Myers' neighbor Jerry Delchamps said. "I would have no idea that it would be a plane falling out of the sky in some person's home."

Emergency officials were on the scene of the crash all day. They are concerned because the plane was carrying a large amount of fuel. Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration arrived Friday afternoon to determine what caused the accident.

The plane was registered to Omega Protein out of Hammond Louisiana, a company that produces fish meal and fish oil. A company spokesman says the pilot, Rhett Moore, was from Virginia, but worked out of Omega's Moss Point plant. Moore was a fish spotter who was probably just headed out to the Gulf of Mexico when he crashed.
